Namaskar Blessed Members of the forum,
I would like to know, what esteemed members of the forum think about the given scenarios below. I would like to know what Vegetarian Hindus think abt these situations. Thank you.
A) A relative who you haven't seen for a long time paid a surprise visit. He is not vegetarian and not fond of vegetarian food. He asks you to bring him to a restaurant to eat, and you oblige. As you are the host, you feel you ought to pay for his food too, so you paid the bill. Now you are a vegetarian, but is it a sin if you pay for your relative's food?
B) You are in a mall shopping. Suddenly you stumbled upon you old pal. He asks you to meet at a Fast-food outlet that sells chicken. As a vegetarian you feel uncomfortable with the place. But to fit in, you buy a drink from the place, so does it mean you support the meat-industry?
C) Imagine you are living in a multi-racial country. You are now planning to have a wedding reception. So you order non-vegetarian food for your non-vegetarians guests and vegetarian food for the vegetarian guests. But by doing so do you accrue sin because you indirectly pay for the meat?
In the above scenarios, can esteemed members of the forum opine how to deal with the situations. Can you describe which of above actions directly/indirectly makes us accrue sin?
Thank you.
